Why the accusation of ‘Letzte Generation’ for founding of a criminal organization is wrong

By Mike Grosse-Hering.

This trial will be defining. Not only for the climate activists, but also for the German society's handling of protest, dissent, and civil disobedience.

Why the application of Section 129 of the German Criminal Code is wrong and what damage results from it is analyzed in conversations with experts.
Interview partners:

• Angelika Kasper from Amnesty International for Human Rights
• Dr. Franziska Görlitz, Society for Civil Rights
• Prof. Matthias Jahn, criminal law professor at Goethe University Frankfurt and judge at the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt

The dismissive response of the Federal Government to the critical report by the UN Special Rapporteur is also classified as legally incorrect.

Of course, questions remained unanswered:

• Why are some of the founders of Letzte Generation charged, but not all?
• Why are some of the press spokespersons charged, but not all?
• Why are some oil pipeline valve closers charged, but not all?
